Profile:
A tower of strength to Bombay cricket during their peak period in the
fifties and sixties, MS Hardikar was a genuine all rounder - a
courageous middle order batsman and an accurate off break
bowler. During a first class career which lasted a little over a
decade, Hardikar, who played in spectacles, scored 3602 runs (45.59)
with eight centuries and took 74 wickets (31.66). In the Ranji Trophy
alone he scored 2589 runs (50.76). His highest score was 207 not out
against Services in 1964-65 and also hit 204 against Gujarat in
1956-57.
Unfortunately his record in Tests was very limited. He played just two
matches against West Indies in 1958-59. Making his debut in his home
town, Hardikar took his first - and only - Test wicket with his third
ball, having Rohan Kanhai leg before. In the second innings he scored
32 not out and put on 85 runs for the unbroken sixth wicket with GS
Ramchand to help India earn an honourable draw. He did not have a very
successful Test in the following game at Kanpur, was discarded and not
picked again. (Partab Ramchand)
